What a Rain Drop Contains.

1t might be supposed that rainwater,
coming from the sky, would be Perfectly
pure. Far from that. While the vapor
condenses into rain-drops, small amounts
of nitire and nitrate of ammonia are
formed and dissolved in the nascant
drop; the drop finds in the atmosphere
oxygen, nitrogen, carbonic acid, ozone,
ammonia, ready and eager to be dissolved ;
they are all taken up, and with the drop
begin their journey earthward. While
the drop is falling, it attracts dust float
ing in the air containing all the mineral
elements of the earth's crust, especially
salt, magnesia, Silica lime, etc. They all
dissolve in it and travel downward.
Nearer the surface coal and tar particles
from smoke, sulphur gases, and etlluvia
are gathered and either dissolved or car
ricd along mechanically, germs of myrids
of low organisms constantly floating In
the air harbored and sheltered, and by
the time the drop dashes into thousands
of minutes particles against stone, 1t
has become microscopic ocean, contain
ing all the elements of the earth's surface
and the beginning of an active life.
Where people use cistern water they
have abundant opportunity too observe
the the mpurity of rain water After the
rain water has struck the soil it hastens
to enter it, but during the short passage
through the sod it takes up great cargoes
of impurities, the products of rotten veg
etable substances, and where man dwells
of human activity, Shi ftlessnesS and filth.

The Effect of Dark Stables.

1t is claimed that in a large portion of
case. where horses have trouble with
their eyes, it is due to the want of prop
erly lighted and ventilated stables. The
Majority of stables are so dark that when
the horse is brought out he shows, by
stumbling and in other ways, that he can
not see perfectly, and this continues until
his eyes become accustomed to the light
Any person can readily tell what the eff
feet is by passing from dark room into
the bright sunlight. The change causes
PAIN and this affects the eye injuriously,
in time frequently causes total blindness.
Where horses shy on the road it is in
many cases due to imperfect sight, often
brought on by neglect in providing well
lighted quarters for them. The eye is
very sensitive and easily injur' when
dark closed stables are used Light and
proper ventilation can be provided with
so little trouble and expense that it is sur
prsing so many neglect these very i'm
portant conditions when building, and as
the result, suffer loss by so doing. Those
who have stables already built, can, by
small outlay, make changes when they
are needed to let in the light, and it will
pay them well to do it.-MaiHe fdrmer.

The Dogs Power OF Scent.

Some very interesting experiments
were rec ;ntly made in England to deter
mine how it is the dog is enabled to fol
low the trail of his master. \ gentleman
used for series of tests pointer with
which he had hunted for several years.
Every precauton was taken to prevent
the dogs being guided by anything but
the sense of smell. The hunter, with his
hunting boots on, first walked about a
mile over the grass, turning in various
directions and then hid himself The
dog, not having seen him, of course, was
brought to the starting place, when he at
once took the trail and followed 1t rapidly
and accurately until he found his master.
The hunter then headed a procession of
twelve persons walking Indian file, each
man being careful to place his feet in the
footprints of the mau proceeding him.
After walking 200 yards the hunter turned
to the right, followed by one-half of the
men, and the other half turned to She left.
Each party made IA number of turns and
detours and then concealed themselves
The dog when put on the trail, followed
it promptly and at the point of separa-
ton, without moments hesitation,
turned to the right, as his master had
done. A stranger to the dog then put on
the masters hunting OOoIs, anu AFTER tlc
same precautions the dog followed his
tracks a. quickly as he had followed his
masters When the master wore the
boots of the stranger the dog would not
follow, nor would he follow the trail of
the stranger when he walked with naked
feet, but he did follow his master under
the same conditions, though slowly and
with much hesitation, The hunter tried
wearing new boots, and the dog refused
absolutely to follow. lie then resumed
his hunting boots, after FASTING paper I'M
der the soles and along the sides; but the
dog paid no attention to the trail until
point was reached where very small
piece of the paper had fallen from the
boot; from that on the trail was followed
rapidly. In the last experiment, the
hunter, with his hunting boots on, free
of paper, walked fifty yards, and then
drew off his boots and walked 800 yards
barefooted, but holding his boots in his
hand, which hung down. Then, raising
his arm and still holding the boots, he
walked 800 yards more. The dog when
placed on the trail followed the whole
distance without Observation-Disclosures

Power of a Kind Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get dnd keep as a kind voice. a kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough
in flesh and blood, yet do the work of a
soft heart, and do it with soft touch.
But there is no one thing that love so
much needs as sweet voice to tell what
it means and feels; and it is hard to get
and keep it in the right tone. One must
start in youth and be on the watch night
and day, at work and play, to get and
keep a voice that shall speak at all times
the thought of kind heart. 1t is often
in youth that one gets voice or a tone
that is sharp, and sticks to him through
life, and stirs up il-will and grief, and
falls Ike drop of gall on the sweet joys
of home. Watch it day by day as pearl
of great price, for it will be worth more
to yon in days to come than the best pearl
hid in the sea. A kind voice is to the
heart what light is to the eye. 1t Is a
light that sings as well as shines.

Cold Iron Bits.

Gan Experienced lIorseman," in the
Kentucky Live Stock Record, reminds
those who have the handling of horses of
the cruelty of which they may he care
lessly guilty: "Let any one who has the
care of Il horse these cold, frosty morn
ings, deliberately grasp in his hand a
piece Of iron; indeed, let him touch 1t to
the tip of his tongue, and then let him
thrust the bit into the mouth of the horse
If he has the heart to do it. The horse is
an animal of nervous organization. His
mouth is formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the blood is
the same as in the human being, and, Ms
in man, the mouth Is the warmest part of
the body. Imagine, we repeat, the irrita-
ton that would be to the human, and, if
not the same degree, still the suffering to
the animal is very great. And it is not a
pain. Food is eaten with
difficulty, and the irritation repeated day
after day, causes loss of appetite and
strength. Many horses have become
worthless from no other cause but this.

Known Merit Commands Success.

To be successful in these days, one must have
merit. Push, pluck and luck are all important
factors in their way, but true merit is the only
absolute assurance Of permanent success.
Less than two years ago Minard's Liniment was
introduced in this section unheralded and COM
paratively unknown to-day Minard's Lni-
ment, aided by judcious advertising, backed by
merit, commands a sale equal and in many
places superior, to the sale of any liniment in the
market. The proprieters, Messrs. Nelson, K
Co,-of whom w. J. Nelson, known as the
"Gold King" Of Nova Scotia, from his connec-
ton with numerous mines in that section is the
head,-have not depended alone upon the merits
of Minard's Lininent, but have fabricated the
wheels of business and ferlilized the soil oftrade
with printers ink, and their present fine bust
ness is result. In conclusion, state that
they advertise in this paper, and their
nouncement will be found in our business col
umns.
